SHIMANO TLD LEVER DRAGSSINGLE SPEED
You don't need
a big boat to catch big fish. In fact, there's absolutely no reason why
you couldn't catch a 250-pound thresher shark from your 20-foot center
console boat.
Unless you
left your TLD at home.
If you own a
small fishing boat, or you often find yourself elbow-to-elbow with your
angling compatriots on the large party boats, you need a reel that's both
nimble and versatile. Our TLD reels are light in hand, so easy to shift
they're almost mindless, and they're adaptable to any number of bluewater
species from tuna to striped marlin. And because they're built by Shimano,
durability is an inevitable part of the package. A large, private,
ocean-going vessel may be neat, but it's not necessary. Just match the
tackle to the situation. And let the fish fall where they may.

STAR DRAG
Fish are fickle, no? Sometimes it seems they'll eat a
bait that's dangling from your teeth. Other times you
can't get anywhere near them. And some species, like
Kingfish, take the bait and keep on coming, leaving a
belly in the line that the bionic woman couldn't reel
in fast enough. So what are you going to do
about it? May we suggest two options. The TLD Star
gives you outstanding castability with both real and
artificial baits so you can stalk the school from
afar. And the Speedmaster has a 6:1 gear ratio that
helps you get rid of that belly and beat the King at
his own game. Either way, you're prepared. And that's
the whole battle. Because fish are moody. Tackle
shouldn't be.

SHIMANO TIAGRA
You're finally
here, 300 miles off the coast of Mexico on a long range boat, and you just
threw a salami into the biggest tuna boil you've ever seen. Suddenly, line
starts screaming off your reel. It's a big fish. And it's going deep.
Heart pounding in your throat, you strap yourself in for the fight of your
life. This would be
a horrible time for your reel to seize. But if it's a
Tiagra, it won't. Ever. Period. Nor will the drag stick or the gears jam.
When you're spooled you can dump it, retrieve it and put it right back
into action without any lapse in performance. And the Tiagra retains its
functional integrity whether you've hooked up to a 250-lb. tuna or a
record-breaking marlin. Because it's engineered for zero failures. Zero.
All you have to do is take it out of the box and fish. And fish. And
fish. And fish...

THUNNUSFor anglers looking for a
larger-capacity reel that fishes live bait with ease, the new Thunnus
spinning reels have an aluminum body and rotor to provide maximum strength
and smoothness to handle any saltwater fishing scene. On the Thunnus
reels, Shimano's patented Baitrunner feature acts as a secondary drag
system that allows an angler to feed out line in a tension-controlled free
spool with the bail closed. The Thunnus reels also feature a waterproof
drag system that keeps out saltwater and other debris. Shimano's Fluidrive
gear cutting process provides smoothness and power while retrieving; and
Super Stopper II, a Shimano designed one-way roller bearing eliminates all
handle backplay for solid hook-sets. A titanium-coated Power Roller helps
reduce line twist, and each reel includes a large-capacity aluminum spool.
For more information on these new surprising Thunnus reels, see your local
tackle dealer.

SHIMANO CALCUTTA
S - NO LEVEL WIND (L) -
LEFT HANDED
Somewhere in a quiet living room,
sitting on a shelf next to an assortment of antique wood plugs and a weathered
creel, is the inspiration for the Calcutta - the round reel. Our parents and grandparents
fished with them for years. You may have even fished with one as a child. And
while the old round reels conjure up rich memories, we feel they had the
potential to offer so much more to the angler. So we resurrected the design.
And perfected it.Calcutta 200 Pictured

Calcutta 200

Calcutta 250

Calcutta 251

Calcutta 400S

Calcutta 400

Calcutta 700S

We kept the
traditional round shape, but simplified it with a sleek, one-piece, solid
aluminum frame. We recessed the reel seat so the reel mounts closer to the
rod for a more comfortable feel. Resisting the temptation to over-indulge
it with features and gimmicks, we kept it pure and focused strictly on
performance.
The result is
a finely tuned piece of machinery with liquid-smooth mechanics and
museum-quality appearance - a standout in your collection. From the
diminutive Calcutta 50 to the impressive 700, it's a reel you'll be as
proud to own years from now as you were the day you bought it.
Since introducing the Calcutta
200 in 1991, we have made very few improvements to it. Not because we're
resting on our laurels, but simply because more advanced technology is
just not available today.
So we channeled our energies
into creating a full line of Calcuttas for all kinds of anglers and all
kinds of waters. Each reel offers the exceptional smoothness Calcutta is
known for, a highly functional yet uncomplicated design, and a more
natural palm feel for endless hours of casting.
It's been seven years since we
brought the Calcutta to life, and the design, both aesthetically and
functionally, has proven itself timeless. Even if you've found a way to
wear out the one you bought in 1991, you can be confident that your new
Calcutta will please you every bit as much as your first.

BAITRUNNER
The ocean's like
a washing machine. The anchovies are laughing at you from the recesses of the
bait tank. Standing erect is an exercise in futility. And it looks like rain.
Now someone's saying you must use plug tackle. Whew. It was just
a bad dream. How silly of you to think you couldn't use your BaitRunner when
you bought it specifically because you can use it in any situation. You can
cast beautifully with it. You can fly-line a live bait with the bail closed
and still have spool control. You can even use it for big freshwater species.
It's perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Now wipe the
sweat off your brow and wake up. You have a boat to catch.

TRINADAD
The highly anticipated
Trinidad reels offer both speed and cranking power in one-piece machined
aluminum frame. The gear box and aluminum side-plate are stamped into one
complete unit. The Trinidad reels feature six stainless steel ball
bearings to help maintain overall drive train smoothness. On a
fully-spooled reel, the 6.2:1 gear ratio provides the fast retrieve speed
needed when fishing for species such as king mackerel and wahoo.
Additionally, the Trinidad's handle has a unique ergonomic shape for
comfort, plus an adjustable power handle shank allowing you to set the
right amount of leverage when cranking. Other features include Super
Stopper, a one-way roller bearing, combined with Shimano's new Assist
Stopper to create a unique dual anti-reverse system. As for the adjustable
clicker, it isn't a simple on/off system: it can be adjusted to 14 tension
settings to accommodate the size of your bait or your style of fishing.

now reality. A uniquely thin profile aluminum body, sideplate and rotor
create a lightweight, incredibly durable platform for
the drive train. As many as twelve ball bearings support all moving parts
including the new Floating Shaft system. We combined a forged aluminum
spool with a titanium coated lip for uncompromising strength and smooth
casts. A ball bearing line roller and waterproof drag system ensure silky
smooth drag performance under the harshest of conditions.

Fine by us. We
took all the amazing and wonderful features you'll find in our top-line
spinning reels and engineered a model specially for the front drag aficionado.
The Sedona even features Power Roller (read about it in the sidebar at

you cast and retrieve.

reeling you in.
